Lynch Bages and Chateau Margaux

2003 Chateau Lynch-Bages;
Ruby with ruby rim, slightly perfumed nose, hints of roses, lavendel, red ripe berries and sweetish fruit. Ok acidity for a 03, ripe tannins, some herbs, loads of ripe red plums and sweet fruit. Ok finish, not a typical Pauillac, easy drinking, but not great. 76


1985 Chateau Lynch-Bages;
Ruby with ruby rim, fantastic nose, starting with secundary aromas, but only hints, cedar, leather, blackcurrants, cigar, cassis, hints of vanilla, intens and complex. Nice and fresh acidity, elegant and balanced, ripe tannins, almost unbelievable clean fruit, some stone fruits and fantastic long finish. A classic. 95


1984 Chateau Margaux;
Ruby with brick rim, lots of sediment. Light nose, some cigar, hints of coffe and minerality, slightly volatile. Nice acidity, some tannins, nice fruit with some leather and stone fruits. Dries in the aftertaste, quite tired, and dies afterone hour in the bottle. 62 (Uncertain storage, could have been kept too warm)
